BUTTERMILK AND RUM.

Will Marsh Murdoch, as the champion
of rum, real estate and rebellion, be able
to Withstand the valiant attacks Of AttOr-
ney General Bradford? Or must Wichita
close its front doors and its back doors and
offer only buttermilk to the thirsting stran-
ger within her gates2 Or, better still, will
she humble herself before the law and pro-
vide lot Of duplicate keys, as they DO In
Leavenworth, fox the use OF her guests
x. c. Times
The rebellion will come in when Colonel
Murdoch reads the item.-EmpOria Repub-
ican.
1t is more in sorrow than in anger that
we note such an emulation Of dessicated
gall from the unregenerated liver of our
envious yet respected contemporary. An
exhortation of temperance from the Sni
Hills does not reach us with the same force
of sermon from the Mount. A sad mess
does the devil invariably make of his efforts
to rebuke sin. With the Salvation Army
swinging around our front every night
there is hardly any call for duplicate keys
or for even buttermilk. The flow of the
Nile of America is unlimited and our cows
give down gracefully, owing to our pro-
life climatic qualities, the heifers coming
in the second year. Thirsty Bradford will,
therefore, hardly find a chance to utilize
his valance in putting down any rum

A very pleasant affair occurred in our

H. B. Fry, short visit. Mrs. II. B. Fry.
who is always endeavoring to make every
thing pleasant and agreeable for those
around her, thought to make time pass
more pleasantly for her aged mother in. law,
and invited number of the old ladies of
the village to visit her. In accordance
with the Invitation twelve responded. The
combined ages of the thirteen, which
included Mrs. Fry, Sr., was
1910, and had the other four
who were invited, but who were prevented
by infirmity, been present. it would have
made the aggregate age 1885 years. 1t was
a pleasant sight to see so many old persons
and hear them talk of old times. when Gus

what they are now One might envy them

Mrs. Lucy Hurlburt. is 80 years old, and

observes in vein not intended for sarcasm
that the Wichita real estate transfer list
varies from day to day, some days running
down to seven or eight thousand. In the
same connection it is but fair to state the
Monitor couples the names of two other
towns. If our cute contemporary will point
out list of Wichitas transfers for day,

TO THE POINT.

Chauncey NJ. Depew addressed the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen few
days ago. He said some very sensible and
well-timed things; among the rest:
There is class of men growing up who
want to get living without work. They
come from all classes. They want some
body else to work for them. They are not
worth saving They remind me of what
Horace Greeley is reported to have said
when man called upon him for a sub
scripticn to save men from hell. Horace
said: Il won't give you cent; there
don't half enough go there now"
Laughter. They remind me of a
man I knew in Pcekskill who got married
/ said to him: what will you do with a
wife? You never supported one side of
yourself He replied: "Well, it is poor
kind of woman who cannot support the
other side" Laughter. They remind
me of man in Poughkeepsie who was
always saying he could not get start. He
was always sitting on drygoods box wait
ing for start. One day gave him $40
for a start, and the next day found him
sitting on the same drygoods box. | asked
him what bad become of his $40. He said:
i lnVcSlCu IL III NdteIlucltuS W sell at the
camp meeting. The first man l sold to
gave me counterfeit $40 note and took all
my capital"
The two greatest anti-poverty societies
know of are the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen.
You can't abolish poverty by spouting.
You may pass resolutions against the small
pox and the measles, but the small pox and

$S,000,00O goes for taxes, interest

talist has out of his $34, 100000 only
$4,000, 900 to bloat on, and when yeu con
slider how many there are to share it, they
don't bloat much. You would not think
they were bloating much if you. could

what they expect. One-tenth of the labor

Wichita seemingly believes in the cura
tive powers Of Geuda mineral springs, and
it is well they do, for the cures effected re-
Gently are almost miraculous Then again,
people will go away from home during the
summer months, and why not keep the
money in Kansas, where it will benefit
Kansas all around. That is EAGLE doc
trine, but it fits this case so exactly that we
beg permission to use it. More than 500 per
day is now being paid out here for labor
alone and soon this will be increased. The
company which own the springs will build a
SIS, 900 bath house and $4,000 in adj
dition to the finest boulevard in the state.

ready for the plungers win give chance
for salt baths which can be enjoyed no
